Solution

The client required a flexible teaching space, and our S200 LTR was deemed the perfect choice. At the touch of a button, the seating can be closed away to enable the versatile use of their teaching spaces.

The retractable chairs incorporate a continuous writing ledge that uniquely folds and creates a fascia to the system. When closed, these were finished in a high-quality Oak veneer. Within the treads of the retractable structure, we incorporated Pixel TUF USB and power charging sockets, a must-have for any modern teaching space.
